An Elegant Moment In Time ~ Early Morning Thoughts

What happens when you take ~ 8 weeks of planning, 8 sound tracks of 60s through 90s music, 10,000 who auditioned, 400 chosen, 10 hidden cameras, and a terminal full of unsuspecting commuters? You get an amazing moment in time.

Here is a cell-phone commercial recently filmed in England ... at a railway station during rush hour...




Of course, it took quite a bit of planning and rehearsal ....



I always get a bit teary/emotional seeing things such as this ... hopefully, not too many commuters missed their trains ....

Side note ~ There are some advantages to being old(er). Years ago, on the old Alan Funt Candid Camera, in a supermarket ~ there was an announcement on the loudspeaker asking everyone to take a moment and dance. A waltz was played and the "plants" literally took unsuspecting shoppers in their arms and began to waltz with them. My family urben legend is that my uncle had written the show and suggested it as something they could do.

I come back for this one because the video seems cool. Have slow internet at the moment. My son is able to use up 3 gigs of broadband in one day
There should be a lot of uncles like yours. What a great idea.
I would take the dance
